O Master and holy God,
who are beyond our understanding:
at your word, light came forth out of darkness.
In your mercy, you gave us rest through night-long sleep,
and raised us up to glorify your goodness
and to offer our supplication to You.
Now, in your own tender love,
accept us who adore You
and give thanks to You
with all our heart.
Grant us all our requests,
if they lead to salvation;
give us the grace of manifesting
that we are children of light and day,
and heirs to your eternal reward.
